A spotted deer sent by Taiwan as a gift to the Chinese mainland gave birth to a healthy fawn on Wednesday in Weihai, Shandong Province of eastern China.
The female baby deer is about 40 cm high and weighs 3.2 kilograms and it was born ahead of schedule.
The fawn is now with its mother Dian Dian, consuming the doe's milk.
The park staff have gone to the Internet, asking for suggestions for the name of the fawn.
The spotted deer, Fan Xing and Dian Dian arrived at their new home in Liugongdao National Forest Park on April 16 in Weihai, and greeted the public on May 28.
They are critically endangered species, with about 1,000 living in Taiwan.
To help the animals adjust to their new environment and to avoid risks in the process, the pairs of deer were quarantined for about one month before their public debut.
